We have just completed a trip to the South of France, pleased to say our C230k estate managed the trip without fault, the poor thing was subjected, yet again, to a roof box and every thing except the kitchen sink (i think she couldn't unbolt it) no word of a lie the tops of the rear tyres had...

Just got back from a 5 day holiday in France touring. The SL behaved beautifully and was lots of fun even when it rained a bit. Spent most of the time with the roof down in comfort due to the comfy seats and the great wind deflector. Did 1200 miles in all and averaged about 30mpg from the...

We are in Monaco for 2 weeks in August and this year I decided to fly rather than take the E class. We fly into Nice and want a hire car - and having booked the flights am now disappointed by the cost of hiring a car. We had planned on renting something interesting and fun, but the costs are...

Hi Guys, I looking to head over to somewhere in possibly France for a track day on Monday. Can anyone recommend somewhere to go? Doesn't just have to be France as long as it within a reasonable driving distance. Many thanks, Navin P.s, open invite if anyone wants to come along.

We’ve just returned from our annual French holiday. The old gal put another flawless 2400 miles under her wheels. With the direct ferry link from Rosyth, it’s only a 17 mile drive from my front door to the dock gates exit at Zeebrugge. We stayed near Nyons, around 30 miles southeast of...

Hello all, I've just had an idea and wanted to submit to you to see if there 's any mileage to it. Purpose of the trip is to combine cheaper servicing costs and some sighstseeing/shopping. Outline is as follows: very early Le Shuttle departure (or stay over the night before) and drive...

Spent today driving from Barcelona to Barbizon, just south of Paris :) Apart from the fact that we came via the stunning Millau viaduct, the car was brilliant, etc etc, I made a discovery I thought I'd share.... If you use the viamichelin route planner for journeys in France, they include...

Hi peeps. The weather is just so bad and no indication of it picking up that I'm looking to see if I can possibly take Josh to France for a week from around next wednesday. I can get good flights from Standsted to La Rochelle but am struggling to find just a small cheap property where we can...
